GOP lawmakers now don't mind McCain made them mad

They used to bristle at the mention of his name. Now, current and former Republican members of Congress who battled John McCain in the chambers of Congress want to see him elected president.

That's one way to get him out of their hair.

'You just had to live with the fact that he wasn't going to be there on some very important votes,' said former Sen. Rick Santorum, a conservative Pennsylvania Republican. 'It's frustrating because you think he should've been there.'

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., recalls all those hyphenated pieces of legislation that McCain co-authored with Democrats on immigration, campaign finance and environment.
